Meaning

The psychology, symbolism and cultural history of Marigold.

In Western cultures, marigold is linked to creativity and warmth, embodying the essence of autumn harvests. Conversely, in some African cultures, it represents the cycle of life and is used in rituals celebrating ancestry and remembrance.
